What is a Yanmar VC10?
Yanmar offers electronically controlled steering
systems called VC10.
All steering actions are controlled electronically as in
Yamaha Helm Master and Volvo IPS. Shifting and
rotational vessel motion can be controlled with a
joystick as shown at right.
Yanmar VC10 with NAVpilot-711C
The NAVpilot-711C is connected to the EVC via an IF-NMEA2K2. The IF-NMEA2K2 (serial
number: 5611 to 5650, 5791 and later, Version: 01.07 or later) is necessary to network with
Yanmar VC10.
The processor power is supplied by the EVC bus.
Interconnection
The following drawing shows an overview of NAVpilot-711C connected to the Yanmar VC10
network. The NAVpilot-711C processor unit, FAP-7002 is connected to the Yanmar EVC bus via
an IF-NMEA2K2 . The power of processor unit FAP-7002 is supplied from the EVC bus.

Note:
The Yanmar VC10 system must have an ID Key (Yanmar supply) in advance to
activate the communications with an autopilot.
Wiring the IF-NMEA2K2 to EVC
Connect the NMEA2000 connector (Micro-C, male) of IF-NMEA2K2 to the bus of the
Yanmar VC10 network.
Wiring the IF-NMEA2K2 to the NAVpilot-711C (TB7)
Connect NMEA0183 wires of IF-NMEA2K2 to the processor unit FAP-7002: TB7
(NMEA0183 Port 2) ports as shown below. Make sure that the IF-NMEA2K2 conversion
mode is set to High Speed mode by modifying the remaining wires in order to
communicate in 38,400 bps.
Connection with TB7 (NMEA
port 2)
Connect the signal lines of the
cable to TB7 with the color
assignment shown at right.

Setting High Speed Mode
The remaining wires are
short-circuited by default for
the Normal mode. The
conversion mode can be
changed to another one by
cutting one of the wires. For
the High-Speed mode, cut
the PORT1 (ORG) as shown
at right.
Wiring Power Cable from EVC to NAVpilot-711C (TB1)
The processor power is supplied from the Yanmar VC10 bus (ACC), NOT from
ship’s mains. This is done in order to synchronize the power failure status with the EVC bus.
Cable AT06-2S-EC01-VCT-030, Furuno part # 000-193-626-10 is used.

Initial Settings on NAVpilot-711C
(1) In the Installation Menu, access [Installation] –
[SHIP’S CHARACTERISTICS] –[BOAT TYPE] and
select [EVCS BOAT].
Selecting the [EVCS BOAT] will allow the
NAVpilot-711C system to communicate with the
Yanmar VC10 system via the IF-NMEA2K2.
(2) Set the [Boat Length], [Cruising Speed], and [Rate
of Turn] to fit the customer’s boat characteristics.
(3) Set the [Boat Length], [Cruising Speed], and [Rate
of Turn] to fit the customer’s boat characteristics.
You do not need to perform the rudder limit setup and
rudder test because those values are already fixed by
the Helm Master system.
Compatible Software Versions
The NAVpilot-711C is compatible with the Yanmar VC10 with the following software
versions. Make sure to install the latest versions of both processor and control units in the
correct combination, as well as the appropriate IF-NMEA2K2 serial number and version.

Note on IF-NMEA2K2:
The serial number (S/N) of IF-NMEA2K2 should be 5611 to 5650, 5791 and later
and the version 01.07 or later is loaded. The IF-NMEA2K2 with older serial numbers
CANNOT detect the EVC even with the version 01.14 installed, showing the error
message [EVC INTERFACE HAS FAILED START UP TEST.] on the NAVpilot-700/711C
display. Make sure that the compatible serial numbers are used.
Reminder:
The Yanmar VC10 system must have an ID Key (Yanmar supply) to activate the
communications with an autopilot.
The ID Key must be installed for the Yanmar system to recognize an autopilot.
Refer to the NAVpilot-711C Installation manual for complete instructions.
Refer to the Yanmar VC10/JC10 Installation manual for installation settings.
